Cheers!!

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! You only have a few more hours left to enter my 5 Year Blogaversary Giveaway HERE!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a card to share with you using a couple of dies from the newest Die-Versions release.

I love the beautiful new Whispers Peacock die!! Those long, flowing feathers gave me the chance to try out my new Brushos...oh my gosh, I love this stuff!! I could spend hours playing with it...such gorgeous colors!! I sprinkled some Sea Green, Emerald Green, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine and Turquoise Brushos on watercolor paper and spritzed it with water to get the swirl of colors. A little secret...I cut it from the background paper and then just covered the peacock-shaped hole with the top layer of Lemoncraft paper ;)

I also added a touch so sparkle with a Wink of Stella pen, but it's hard to see in the picture.

WOWWWWWW!! Lisa this is so beautiful!! I just love the colours, aqua and lime make such a stunning and vibrant combination, and it couldn't be more perfect for a peacock focal piece! I love the vellum flourishes peeking out from the ribbon, what a lovely addition! The bling corners are such an awesome touch too! Love it!! hugs :)

I LOVE those colours Lisa my friend! Fabulous!! Brushos are amazing to watch aren't they? My results aren't nearly as impressive as yours though!! I'm glad you used the background you cut the peacock out of for layering ... you couldn't waste something that beautiful! I also love those blue and greens together, they make for a dynamite colour combo!! Have a great week my friend! Hazel xxMy Card Attic

Lisa this is gorgeous!! I love green and turquoise together and is amazing! The peacock is SO cool and love the way you did the coloring on it. The dotted dp shows it off so beautifully and of course your ribbon and flowers are perfect :)

Well, Miss Mermaid, how fitting that a beautiful peacock would share the colors of a beautiful mermaid! And how fitting that both would be peacock-proud to be shown by your most dear and talented finger tips! Truly lovely card - the layers are both fun and imaginative, and very wonderfully colorful! I hope you are enjoying a fabulous week, Lisa. huggers, de

It has a fab 3D look and great shades!!It pop out so well from the polka dotted paper!! Love the sweet flowers with the cheesecloth and the gorgous ribbon!! Great work, my friend!!

Awwww! I love me some peacocks and this is stunning! Fantabulous use of the new dies and cheers to both awesome sauce designs! Your bow and flowers are gorgeous, and who doesn't like a little bling bling on their cards. Wowzers! Hugs~Niki

Hi Lisa I would like to thank you so much for your well wishes for my mum, she seems to be doing a lot better thank you. Lisa this is so beautiful I love that Peacock he looks so majestic, the colours you have used capture the colours of this wonderful bird, I love ithugslorraine x

Delighted to see you using the brushos- and did they ever make a magnificent color for this gorgeous peacock and the background too. This is one pretty die and love the colors - so fresh & crisp for spring. Love the shadow effect on the dimensional peacock, ditto the lacy topping and the pretty ribbons & flowers. Just extremely beautiful. TFS & Hugs

I just have to keep going back to have a look at the utterly gorgeous peacock, I really love how you gave it a little 'shadow', it really brings out the colour. I also love the contrasting paper in the background! Hugs, Anne xx

What a stunning peacock and a great use of Brushos on it, Lisa! Love the colors, green and blue together is a lovely combination. The ribbon today is amazing. You always amaze me with your beautiful desings.Hugs, Mar

Oh how beautiful and fabulous colors!! I have had my eye on this die as well!! Once again gorgeous ribbon and flower...another stunner!! Enjoy this great weather we are to get by Friday.....you know where I will be...outside!!

It's just so DANG Pretty Lisa! I LOVE the colors you used.... they're beautiful and yes that peacock is beautiful as well.... I can see why you were attracted to it... Gorgeous Card my friend! Have a Fabulous Day!!!

Wow, this card is so stunning Lisa! I love the color combo, one of my favorites. I can't believe how beautiful those brushos look on the peacock. I've never used them and probably couldn't make them work the way you do, but they are beautiful. Love the flowers and seam binding, cheese cloth and white accents. Just a beautiful, stunning card! Hugs, Brenda

These are my favorite two colors! This is a stunning design, simple and to the point, yet with so many yummy places to draw the eye! Love the chipboard and fabulous simple floral bundle at the top. Big hugs, Autumn

My sweetest friend, this is gorgeous! The peacock is a thing of beauty.. they are beautiful beyond words and you've certainly brought it to life as such. Your work with the Brushos is spectacular. The papers are so pretty, I love the loopy die, and ooooh how I love the cascading blue ribbon! The large magnolia is exquisite. I've had a whole bag of pastel magnolias since WOC released them and they remain untouched (sadly). Thank you for inspiring us yet again, my dearest Lisa! Have a sparkly day. :o)

Wow, Lisa! You have made me want to add Brushos to my crafty shopping list! This peacock is stunning, strutting her stuff, and such a beautifully designed card you have so lovingly put together! Love the little button as a special touch! Big hugs!
